Part of the College of Science, the school has three academic departments: Geological Sciences and Engineering, Mining Engineering and Geography.[1]
The Mackay School also houses four departments devoted to public service: Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, Nevada Seismological Laboratory, Nevada State Climate Office and the Nevada Stable Isotope Laboratory. Research facilities include the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy, Center for Research in Economic Geology, Mining Life-Cycle Center, Center for Neotectonic Studies, Arthur Brant Laboratory for Exploration Geophysics, Collaboratory for Computational Geosciences, Dendro Laboratory and Geospatial Laboratory. The school is also affiliated with the U.S. Geological Survey and Desert Research Institute.
In June 1908, the Mackay School of Mines building was presented to the University of Nevada, as a memorial to John Mackay, by his widow and son, Marie Louise Mackay and Clarence Mackay. A statue of John Mackay by Gutzon Borglum stands in front of the mining building on the main quad of the campus.
W. M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museumedit
The W. M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum is located within the building. It focuses on early Nevada mining history, minerals, ores, fossil specimens and photographs and also contains a collection of ornate Mackay family silver completed by Tiffany & Co. in 1878.[3]
